Before Lou Rongrong figured out the problem, what happened next quickly attracted her attention.

Because Ying Ze was seriously injured and whipped, he was unable to go to court normally, so he called all the ministers into the palace to discuss the government affairs.

Originally, when she was in court in the Qianqing Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao had to listen to the government behind the curtain. Since Ying Ze ascended the throne at a young age, it has been like this almost every day, but now that Ying Ze is calling all the ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study, naturally Empress Dowager Xiao can no longer point fingers at the side. .

This is the first one, and the second is that after news spread that Empress Dowager Xiao flogged the emperor regardless of the serious injuries of her parents and children, many of the many supporters headed by Lan Jingxuan were shaken.

They originally thought that the emperor was still young, so they needed the empress dowager to supervise, but now it seems that the empress dowager is too arbitrary, and the young emperor has already matured enough to take on the responsibility of the emperor of Daqing.

In the end, it was Li Wang's defection that pushed the conflict between the two to the peak.

The Empress Dowager Xiao insisted on accusing King Li of being attacked by Ying Zeqiu. Once the Empress Dowager is allowed to do so, one can imagine how many innocent courtiers will be implicated.

King Li had already declined nine years ago, and now there is no contest for the crown prince. In order to save their lives, this group of King Li's party from many years ago naturally had to stand behind Ying Ze.

The situation in the DPRK and China is changing, and the world has changed day and night. After the Empress Dowager Xiao reacted, Ying Ze was already strong and she was weak. In two days, it is estimated that the important officials in the court will kneel in front of the Yongshou Palace to beg her Let go.

Lou Rongrong eavesdropped on the chatting of the maids in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and heard that Empress Dowager Xiao has changed several sets of tea cups and porcelains in the palace in the past few days.

Fei Wusu also often discussed matters in the palace these days, so Lou Rongrong asked him quietly:

"Brother, will Queen Mother Xiao agree to return the power?"

Fei Wusu rubbed her little head, and did not prevaricate her just because she was young, but replied seriously:

"The general trend, the queen mother can't stop it, but the jade seal is still in the queen mother's hands. If you want to let the queen mother hand over the jade seal willingly without paying any price, it may be nonsense."

Lou Rongrong looked at the imperial study room. Although he was seriously injured, Ying Ze, who was still not in charge of the government, secretly made up his mind to do something for him within his power.

With the example of Lingyuejing, Lou Rongrong still believes that the drawn painting must have its function, but he has not found its correct use.

The first painting time was before Empress Dowager Xiao came out of the pavilion. The content of the painting was Empress Dowager Xiao dancing under a tree with a sword.

Obviously, this is not a scene that ordinary painters can witness, it must be a scene that can only be seen by very close people, if it is not relatives and close friends, it is a bosom friend Lan Yan.

However, the Xiao family's military family has more generals and reckless men, and almost no one is good at painting, but the painting is exquisite, with strong and bold colors and excellent artistic conception, obviously it cannot be painted by relatives.

And Empress Dowager Xiao was also arrogant and self-restraining when she was young, and she was not easy to get along with. Lou Rongrong also asked Zheng Baisheng secretly. Almost all of Empress Dowager Xiao's friends when she was young were from the families of generals, and they were not proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. of.

In this way, the possible identity of the painter is obvious. Sure enough, when Lou Rongrong asked Zheng Baisheng again, the latter couldn't help but bend down and made a silent movement:

"My little ancestor, where did you hear these old things? This is what you mentioned. If the slaves dare to talk casually, they will lose their heads!"

Although Lou Rongrong wanted to know the reason, but he didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he quickly covered his mouth with his small hand, looked around, and found no one noticed, then looked at Zheng with big clean eyes. Parkson Road:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. No one will hear you. I won't ask any more questions. I'll go and ask the emperor's brother directly. There should be no problem, right?"

The little girl's clear and kind thoughts are really moving. Zheng Baisheng looked into her eyes, lost within two seconds, and sighed:

"My little ancestor, when the queen mother didn't enter the palace, there was no sign of your majesty. How could he know about these old millet and rotten sesame seeds?"

As he spoke, he pushed everyone away and put it in Lou Rongrong's ear, and then told Lou Rongrong all the past.

It turns out that before Empress Dowager Xiao entered the palace, she actually had a heart to belong to, and that person was Leng Chupei, the elder brother of Leng Chuchun, the right minister.

The Leng family has a rigorous family education, among which Leng Chupei is the best in the family, especially his painting skills are superb, but God is jealous of talents, Leng Chupei is so talented, but he was weak and sick since childhood.

The two actually fell in love at first sight, admired each other, and a talented man matched a beautiful woman. It was a good story at that time, and the two families just exchanged name cards and talked about marriage.

However, the accident happened at this moment. The Xiao family, who were leading the army abroad, was ambushed. In one night, six or seven men were buried on the battlefield. He killed himself at home that night.

In the entire Xiao family, only her and her eldest brother's young children are left. The innocent girl who was once protected by her father and brother was forced to grow up overnight. Married into the palace.

This incident dealt a great blow to Leng Chupei. Even if he couldn't get sick, he let go not long after. It is really embarrassing that a good marriage ended like this.

Lou Rongrong didn't expect that the cruel and eccentric Empress Dowager Xiao had such an unspeakable hidden injury when she was young, but in this way, she had some ideas on how to help Ying Ze get back the jade seal.

Empress Dowager Xiao waited and waited, but before the ministers came, they knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and begged her to return the jade seal, but they waited for Lou Rongrong who came to visit alone.

When the palace maid came to report, Empress Dowager Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then sneered:

"A five-year-old kid? What is she here for, to see Ben Gong's jokes? Nope!"

The maid responded and was about to reply, but Empress Dowager Xiao changed her mind in an instant:

"Forget it, if you let her in, I want to see what kind of face and stuff this little girl who makes Fei Qusu and my little son a treasure."

Ever since, when Lou Rongrong entered the palace with the picture scroll in his arms, what he saw was the picky Empress Dowager Xiao who made no secret of her face.

Compared with the picture scroll, the Empress Dowager Xiao at this time is much older. The immersion of power for many years has made her lose the youthfulness she had when she first entered the palace. The aura around her is more dignified, but also more tired and turbid .

Empress Dowager Xiao looked her up and down, and saw that although she did not understand the etiquette in the palace, she was calm and unhurried, but she was a little more sure of her, but her mouth was still unforgiving:

"If you come to my Yongshou Palace, you are not afraid that I will hang you outside and tell you to stand for another two hours?"

Lou Rongrong hugged the scroll and smiled sincerely:

"The empress dowager was joking. To see her, even if she stood for two more hours, it was worth it. Some people want to see her, even if they spend three days and three nights in the cold wind and rain, they may not be able to see her."
